Full House at Entrex Market Summit on September 21; New Asset Category Defined for Financial Community

CHICAGO, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Entrex, Inc. hosted the first Entrex Market Summit yesterday, at the Grand Hyatt in New York.

The Summit was orchestrated to bring together capital, companies, broker- dealers, private equity and hedge fund professionals; and to allow them a forum to discuss the creation of these "new assets" by Entrex, for the financial community, and consider industry impact.

The influential line-up of speakers, presenting their perception of the benefit of this new financial marketplace, included: Charles Moore, CEO of Crucible Capital Group; Peter Rajsingh, OBO Alterra P Energy Fund; Terry Temescu, Symphony Development Fund; Jung Yun, Sr. VP Global Media Fund, David Murphy, CEO of Better World Books; Bruce Camber, CEO Private Business Channel; and Stephen H. Watkins, CEO of Entrex.

Earlier in the week, Entrex CEO, Stephen H. Watkins, disclosed, "Our speakers represent in excess of $500M in capital -- a thrilling amount of money to be focused on learning about the marketplace we're creating. They've looked at our model, as well as the roster of member companies, and see that the market space we're defining is a missing link in the investment world. By being an 'Entrex Ensured' company, our members offer credibility and clarity to the financial community which, in essence, creates a fresh asset category for the alternative investor." He goes on to say, "Capital aside, 'peeping- tom' industry interest is massive as well. Financial media and various support services have come to us wanting to join in the Summit to be ideologically involved during this debut stage."

In fact, attendees ran the gamut from capital sources seeking fresh alternative investment ideas, to company CEOs and CFOs seeking unconventional methods of acquiring significant growth capital, to targeted industry media and services. The large established multi-service financial institutions were represented as well, each with their own ideas of how they'd like to be involved as this new market space emerges.

When asked why investment in entrepreneurial fast-growth companies is "hot," Watkins says, "According to the Private Company Index, performance in this sector is up 23.5% this year already. This is approximately five times the increase the Dow Index experienced in the same amount of time; and immeasurably higher than the NASDAQ Index -- which charts a loss over the same span. It's apparent that the potential dividends reaped from the entrepreneurial sector provide the opportunity of significantly greater returns than those realized from more traditional public sources. "
